Posted by Adriaan Alsema on Jul 8, 2015
Colombia’s largest rebel group FARC on Wednesday announced to resume a unilateral ceasefire on July 20, two months after suspending one they had called in December.
The FARC rebels announced the renewed ceasefire on their peace delegation’s Twitter account.
According to the tweet sent by the guerrilla group’s delegation in the Cuban capital of Havana, “the FARC decrees a unilateral ceasefire starting July 20, 2015 for the period of a month.”
July 20 is Colombia’s Independence Day.
